What is this?

This originally began as my A-Level Computer Science NEA (coursework), but it's been expanded upon since.

It is mostly an interpretation of "The Kademlia Protocol Succinctly" by Marc Clifton, with a GUI + CLI (The implementation is in Python, rather than C#).

This mostly serves as an introduction to peer-to-peer systems for me, and to get me familiar with version control.

There are much better implementations of Kademlia out there, this is nowhere near a complete implementation.

To-do list

• Make Kademlia implementation

• Make GUI

• Make CLI

• Make all unit tests pass

• Make error handling more pythonic

• Add more unit tests for the CLI for input validation

• Add encryption

• Make it more usable

• Create more scalable storage (databases, etc)

• Actually test it at scale (100+ nodes, on different networks)

• Make it more efficient
